That would be graphics drivers, with Intel, nVidia, and ATI the primary sources.

yes
Yes, if you mean the game has "NVIDIA" in big letters across the front of the box, and you have an ATI card. If you mean the model it says is required is higher than the one you have, don't give up hope, it might still be possible. It might just be really slow, or you might have to lower the quality a lot. So to give you a short answer, yes, it is possible, but that's not a 100% guarantee.
Do you mean computer hardware? Basic components Computer Monitor Keyboard Mouse Speakers (Inside the computer case) PSU (Power Supply Unit) Motherboard (e.g. Gigabyte, Asus, Foxconn or ECS) Hard Drive (e.g. Seagate, Western Digital or Samsung) CPU (Central Processing Unit, e.g. Intel or AMD) GPU (Graphics Processing Unit, also known as Video Card, e.g. Nvidia or ATI) RAM (Random Access Memory, also known as memory, e.g. Kingston, Corsair, Geil, Mushkin) *e.g. are some example brand names optional extras; cooling equipment (like fans, heatsinks and water cooling equipment) microphone soundcard
nvidia 8200 gpu score 4.7 ati 3100 is a 3.6
I would reccomend NVIDIA but they are very similar.
The NVidia is faster.
Far Cry 1 Nvidia Geforce 2 GTS, ATI Radeon 8500 or better Far Cry 2 Nvidia Geforce 6800, ATI X1650 or better
nvidia geforce gt525m
Yes!
the 9800gtx is better
Nvidia 9800GX2 Nvidia GTX 295 Nvidia GTX 285 ATi 4870X2 ATi 4890
They're both awful, but I think the 8200 is better.
ATI is the older company (1985) than Nvidia (1994). However there was a time, about 1999-2002, where Nvidia singlehandedly dominated the 3d graphic card market, ATI sort of "came back" from that, and is head-to-head with Nvidia today.
According to the Oblivion website you need to have an ATI X800 series, Nvidia GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card. Here is a list of supported video card chipsets. However you can still get the game to work if your card is not listed here. * ATI X1900 series * ATI X1800 series * ATI X1600 series * ATI X1300 series * ATI X850 series * ATI x800 series * ATI x700 series * ATI x600 series * ATI Radeon 9800 series * ATI Radeon 9700 series * ATI Radeon 9600 series * ATI Radeon 9500 series * NVIDIA GeForce 7800 series * NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series * NVIDIA GeForce 6600 series * NVIDIA GeForce 6200 series * NVIDIA GeForce FX series
Yes by a long shot
